What is the budget for accommodation and food in French Polynesia?
Would you like to organize your stay in French Polynesia efficiently? It's essential to plan for your main expense: accommodation. While you won't have too much trouble finding accommodation that meets your expectations, you should know that staying in a hotel room will cost you more on average than in France. Prices are almost 40% higher than in mainland France. Expect to spend around 100 euros per night per person for a standard hotel room. Of course, it all depends on the island and city you wish to stay in. Obviously, accommodation in Papeete will cost you more than a room on a more remote island in the archipelago. Want to keep accommodation costs down? Why not try couchsurfing or renting a camping spot? A daily pitch for a 2-person tent shouldn't cost you more than 25 euros a night!
Because of the need to import certain food products, the price of food is a little higher in French Polynesia than in mainland France. This is particularly true for imported foods such as cheese and milk. A full meal, including starter, main course and dessert, will therefore often cost you more than 30 euros. Fortunately, you can eat on the run and save a lot of money. A small local snack can be ordered for less than 5 euros, for example. Another solution? Buy a small takeaway in trays. Expect to spend 6 or 7 euros.
What is the budget for visiting and getting around in French Polynesia?
If you want to explore the hundred or so islands that make up French Polynesia, you'll need to budget for transportation. Expect to spend between 10 and 20 euros per person per day. On the higher islands, you can travel by bus (between 1 and 5 euros, depending on distance), truck or rental car. To rent a car, you'll need to spend around 35 euros a day in Tahiti and 50 euros on the other islands. Island-to-island transport is provided by sea, aboard ferries, schooners or catamarans.
French Polynesia offers a wide range of activities. To enjoy a day on the lagoon by boat, you'll need to budget between 50 and 100 euros. If you look hard enough, you'll be able to enjoy a diving session for less than 50 euros. Count on around 70 euros to swim with the whales off the island of Rurutu. A half-day kayak rental is available for less than 20 euros.
